Distance
Everything starts here. Too far and you can't land; too close and you take the punishment. Boxing is the constant management of space.
Striking · The sweet science
BoxingThe noble art
Two fists, a perimeter, and so many decisions per second that boxing earned the nickname sweet science. It's the most stripped-back combat sport there is — and arguably the most demanding when it comes to footwork.
Where it comes from
The history
Fist-fighting goes back to Antiquity, but modern boxing was born in England. Broughton's Rules (1743) were the first to govern bare-knuckle fights that often ended badly.
The decisive turning point came with the Marquess of Queensberry Rules, published in 1867: mandatory gloves, three-minute rounds, a ten-second count. Boxing stopped being a brutal endurance test and became a sport of precision and rhythm.
In the 20th century, it became a universal language. Its technical legacy — guard, footwork, distance management, head movement — now runs through every combat sport, MMA included.
The principles
What we actually drill
Footwork
You punch with the floor before you punch with your fist. The feet always come before the hand.
Guard and defence
Not getting hit beats taking a hit. Slips, rolls and stepping off the line.
Rhythm
Switch tempos, break the cadence, force your opponent to react at the wrong moment.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers
Is boxing only for people who want to fight?
No. Plenty of our members never do hard sparring. Technique, bag work and pads are enough to get you in excellent shape.
Do I need my own gloves?
Not for the trial: the academy lends you the kit. After that, your own gloves and hand wraps are recommended for hygiene.
What's the Only Women class?
A women-only class on Saturdays at 15:00 — same technical content, in a setting that makes it easier to get started.
